10 all whom it mag concern.-

Be itknown that I, TIMOTHY LONG, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Hoisting and Conveying Machines, of-which the following is a specificationg This invention relates-to means for conveying and loading fuel or other material into boats, cars, or other receptacles in a convenient and expeditious manner; and it consists of a boat provided with'anumber ofcompartments havingslanting bottoms, alongitudinal I tunnel connected in the bottom of theboat with the said compartments, a vertical elevator'connected with said tunneha conveyingdrag in thetunnel for conveying the fuel to said elevator.

It also consists of a revoluble derrick supported over said compartments,provided with a conveyor and receiving-funnel chute and an adjustable telescopic chute attached to said conveyer capable of adjustment to the several hatchways of a vessehand suitable power on said derrick-platform for operating said derrick apparatus.

' The invention consists in the combination and'arrangement of the elements above enumerated, substantially as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings,Sheet 1, Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of a boat, showing the aforesaid compartments, elevator, conveyor, and the revoluble derrick supported thereon. -Sheet 2, Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 2 20m Fig. 1, showing the tunnel in the bottom parts of the compartments, also the fun nel-chute receiver and the conveyor connected therewith. Fig. 3 is a top or plan view of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1.

A in the several figures represents a portion of a boat.

B B are compartments located in the central part of the boat, the bottoms of which are made slanting toward their centers. 0 is a tunnel located in the bottom of the boat and connected with each of the said compartments by passing through them and has communication with them by means of doors D D in the sides of the tunnel, whereby one or more of said compartments maybe putin open communication with the tunnel'forreceiving the contents of said compartments. traveling drag consisting of a belt having scrapers e 6 attached for the purpose of hauling the coal or other material which passes into the tunnel along toward its end and discharge the same to the elevator; .The drag iscarried by rollers F at the ends. The bottom of the tunnel at the end next to the ele-;

Eisa" vator has a slight inclined rise at O to conv j,

nect with the interior of the elevator-casing G. The-elevator stands upright atthe end of said tunnel G and consists of a bucketed belt H. a I is a spout connected with the top 1 end of the elevator-casing G for discharging the material elevated. K is the turn-table of a revoluble derrick supported on the deck over the said compartmentsand nearto'the said elevator G H. g Y

J J are two upright posts standing at one side the table or platform K, having a crosshead, and isbraced by the corner-braces J J. M is an, adjustable bucketed belt conveyor of which are supported on a shaft N, journaled in the posts .1 J. A sprocket-wheelm, also on said shaft N, carries the belt. ,0 is engine on said platform, connected by gears with the shaft N, by means of which said conveyer isoperated. P. is a shaft, also journaled in the posts over said shaft N'and con-- nected by gear or with gear m. On said shaft P are provided drums q q,'to one of which is attached the rope r, passing up over pulley Q to pulley Q on the bail R, attached to the beams L L, by means of which the said conveyor M is raised or lowered. ends of-the beams L L issuspended a tele scopic spout S by a bail t.

T is a rope attached to one of the drums q,

passing over a pulley V on the end of the To the outer beam L, thence to a pulley V on the sliding.

too

supported on two beams L L, the lower ends which it is received and transferred to the 7 Y r w v spout S. lhe funnel A is cncula1,1ts center being directly over the center of motion of the turn-table, so that said spout shall always be in position to receive the contents from the spout I, when the derrick may be turned to one side, as represented by dotted lines in Fig. 3.

Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a hoisting and conveying machine, a revoluble derrick, a traveling adjustable conveyer supported and carried by the derrick, a receiving-hopper mounted on the frame of the derrick,and an adjustable telescopic spout attached to the ends of the conveyer-beams, and means for operating the same, in combination, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a hoisting and conveying machine, a

revoluble derrick, a traveling, adjustable conveyor supported and carried by the derrick, a receiving-hopper mounted on the frame of the derrick, in combination with and supported on a vessel having fuel-compartments, a tunnel in the bottom of said compartments a belted scraping-conveyor in said tunnel, doors in the sides of the compartments for delivering their contents into said tunnel, and a vertical bucketed conveyor connected with said tunnel, and a discharging-spout on the top of said vertical conveyer for transferring material into the receiving-hopper on the derrick, substantially as described.
